Chapter 140 The Soma Familia!
"Oh?"
"Because I have quite a few of these spatial devices, which I will sell in the future, it would be unfair to you if the price is too high."
[A considerable quantity!]
Hephaestus was once again shaken. Since there were quite a few of them, it meant that these spatial equipment were not made by chance or using some unique materials, but that someone had indeed mastered extraordinary forging techniques. This made Hephaestus, who was born as the god of forging, very curious.
"Could you tell me where the blacksmith who forged this equipment is?"
Hephaestus knew her question was a bit abrupt, but she was genuinely eager to get to know the blacksmith.
"He's in a very, very far place; you probably won't be able to see him."
They're probably not even part of a multiverse, so how could they not be far off?
"What a pity."
The gods can see whether mortals are lying. Lin Yu was not lying, so Hephaestus believed that the blacksmith was dead, and felt very sorry for him.
"What kind of weapon do you want to forge?"
Hephaestus asked Lin Yu.
I want to forge a sword.
Lin Yu took out a piece of paper with a drawing of a Chinese longsword on it.
"No problem, come back in three days to collect the sword."
Hephaestus glanced at the blueprints; the weapon design was simple and not difficult to forge.
"Thank you very much, Lady Hephaestus."
"You're welcome. I benefited from this."
Even if she has more than one space equipment, its price will still be very high, so she won't lose money no matter what.
Lin Yu didn't raise the price, which shows he's a very good person. Hephaestus was happy for Hestia that her divine friend had met such a good family.
After leaving the Hephaestus Familia, Lin Yu gave Hestia ten million Fali to handle matters related to the restaurant, while he himself went to the dungeon to fight monsters and level up.
Today, Lin Yu plans to go down a few more floors, and his ability value should increase even more than yesterday.
"Hmm, something's up."
When Lin Yu reached the tenth floor, his perception magic detected unusual activity.
Because he didn't want others to discover his special nature, Lin Yu usually didn't take the best routes, but rather the more remote ones, which rarely involved him with adventurers.
Today was no different, but on the tenth floor, Lin Yu sensed that a large number of monsters were attacking an adventurer in a more remote place.
This is strange. Floors one through twelve are for novice adventurers, and it's almost impossible for a large number of monsters to spawn there. Moreover, Lin Yu not only sensed a large number of monsters, but also other adventurers nearby.
It's obvious without even thinking that the adventurer who was surrounded by monsters was probably tricked, but it's unclear whether it was out of revenge or greed.
Lin Yu concealed his aura and secretly approached the adventurers who were watching nearby, and then he heard their conversation.
"This guy is pretty strong; he's actually managing to hold on."
There were three adventurers watching, one of whom seemed somewhat surprised as he looked at the person who was still persevering amidst the monster attack.
"Haha, it's because he's quite skilled that we've been able to reap such good rewards."
The other man laughed heartily, even happier than before. He wasn't worried that the other man could kill so many monsters. Even if he could, he probably wouldn't have much strength left. With the three of them joining the fight, they would definitely be able to capture him easily.
"I wonder how much money his estate will fetch. I hope I can drink some more of the holy wine today."
The last person had lifeless eyes, seemingly lost in some beautiful memory.
Upon hearing the words "divine wine," Lin Yu immediately understood what was going on; these people must be adventurers from the Soma clan.
Soma, the chief god of the Soma clan, is a god of wine who is obsessed with brewing. Although he cannot use his divine power in the mortal realm, his knowledge remains, and the divine wine he brews is incredibly delicious, like a drug that makes people addicted and unable to extricate themselves.
Soma himself was rather strange. He lost all hope in humans because his clan members were addicted to the divine wine. He then stopped managing his clan and handed over all clan affairs to the leader, Chanis, who was not a good person.
If Chanis is not a good person, then don't expect his clan to develop in a good direction, not to mention the extremely tempting divine wine.
Divine Wine is extremely tempting and addictive, but it is very expensive. It takes a long time for low-level adventurers to afford it through conventional means. However, most low-level adventurers cannot bear to go without Divine Wine for a long time, so they want to find some quick ways to make money.
Chanis didn't care at all, so under his management, all the members of the Soma Familia would do anything for money. Scamming and cheating were considered good, but the worst were like these few people, who harmed other adventurers and seized their inheritances, just to drink a sip of the divine wine.
After all, the legacy of an adventurer is far greater than what can be gained by fighting monsters for several days. As for taking lives, they don't care at all compared to being able to drink the divine wine.
"This guy is dying!"
As the adventurers surrounded by monsters in the arena suffered more and more wounds and their movements became slower and slower, the adventurers of the Soma Familia seemed somewhat excited, because they were about to have a great harvest.
[What should I do?]
As the besieged adventurers were on the verge of collapse, Lin Yu was pondering some things.
Normally, the plan would be to rescue the adventurer who was surrounded by monsters, then capture the adventurers from the Soma Familia, hand them over to the guild, and ultimately disband the Soma Familia.
Although the result was good, Lin Yu had other ideas.
The divine sake of the Soma clan is a rather good commodity, worthy of being sold in personal shops, which is why Lin Yu wants to obtain the Soma God.
In that case, disbanding the Soma Familia would probably not achieve the desired result.
Lin Yu couldn't think of a solution for the time being.
[Never mind, I'll go back and ask Hestia.]
One person's plan is short-sighted, but two people's plans are long-sighted. Hestia is, after all, a god; perhaps she will have a solution.
[Murderous magic!]
Three pure white beams of light shot into the sky, piercing through the bodies of the three members of the Soma Familia before they could react, taking their lives.
Then two more volleys of fire turned the monsters that were attacking the adventurer to ashes. Lin Yu then turned and left, leaving the adventurer standing there in astonishment.
In the blink of an eye, the monsters that had been besieging him and the villains with ill intentions were all dead, and the life-or-death crisis was over. Anyone who experienced such a dramatic turn of events would find it hard to come to their senses.
A few seconds later, the seriously injured adventurer finally came to his senses and loudly thanked him, but no one responded. Realizing that the high-level adventurer who had helped him should leave, the adventurer immediately dragged his tired body away.
This is, after all, an underground city, and he's not in good condition, so it's best to leave as soon as possible.
